Reviews
'The sheer fun of this series is that it seats the reader right in Papa's chair. You travel with him in body (physical ailments) and mind (fulminations of thoughts), armed only with yourself, Hemingway's madcap voice running in your head, and perhaps a Highball or two to savour along the way.' N. J. McGarrigle, The Irish Times
'These letters bring us closer to the rough, everyday mind of Hemingway than was previously possible, as we tramp alongside him in what feels like real time.' Philip Lopate, The Times Literary Supplement
'... impeccable, from the punctilious transcription rules to cross- and multiple-editing, scrupulously researched footnotes, and scholarly appurtenances including a roster of correspondents ...' William Blazek, The Modern Language Review
